A fellow Seattlite here (well Vashon to be precise). I don’t know the numbers so I believe your numbers over my previous guess. But when I was thinking about the urban poor I was actually thinking about the suburbs as well. The Seattle area has a lot people living and working in places like White Center, Burien and Issaquah. Even those that live in the suburbs but work downtown, a lot of them ride the Sounder from Everet or Pyuallup, or walk on to the ferries from Bremerton or Southworth. The few times I commute to downtown with the Water Taxi I see a lot of people coming from Southworth on the WS ferry and transfer onto the Water Taxi to Colman Dock (probably less now that Southworth has their own PO boat). But like I said, I don’t know the numbers at all. Here on Vashon I would guess that there is little correlation between economic position and whether or not you commute by car any further then the nearest park-and-ride. Although those that bike all the way to the ferry are probably on the richer side if I were to guess. I my self can walk to the highway and catch a bus to the Water Taxi (which is a pretty nice commute tbh). However I belive you when you say that the suburban poor outnumber any other group and that they are overwhelmingly drivers.
